I've learned Ohm's law. I've played around with electronics over the years, but never got into the real nuts and bolts of it all. It's very interesting! I know how to solder, and do basic things, from years of repairing and tinkering with guitars and gear, but I've never really bothered with ohms and watts and what they actually measure.
I've learned a lot about nicotine, and it's effects, and the dirty things they put in cigarettes, and the politics surrounding Big Tobacco and government. Also very interesting.
Skills, I've learned to wrap coils, and do some cool tricks with vapor.

I am now the master of "fixing" everyone's ecig, regardless of the reason its "broken". I also smell fabulous whilst doing it!
I've learned to keep a q-tip with me for removing e-liquid from tanks and batteries. Also once done with the q-tip you can cut the cotton tops off and use the narrow plastic tube for putting in e-liquid ( for those bottles with a bigger, "fatter" dripper tops ).
I can fill a tank with my eyes shut now, while holding the mod under my arm, juice bottle cap between my teeth, and walking the dogs.
And Vooping. I'm pretty good at vooping, too.
My day job for 36 years before retirement was troubleshooting and repairing my company's equipment in customers' offices. When I was a teenager I was always tinkering with electricity and mechanical devices. Most of the tech inside ecigs is every day stuff when it involves concepts that are part of what you do for a living.
When I started vaping, an ecig was a plastic cartridge with some cotton inside. You pulled it out and dripped some juice inside, then pushed it back in where the soaked cotton contacted a coil with a mesh bridge on it. The cotton saturated the mesh and the coil heated it to make vapor. Every half hour, you pulled the cartridge and soaked in again with juice.
This is what you had to do to fill your ecig 4 years ago. There were no tanks. Cartos came later.
This is the first thing I had to learn.

Rationalising. Definitely.
"But on the other hand, if all seven of them break simultaneously, I'll be in trouble. I'd best just buy one more..."

learned how to burn through money like a drunken sailor
Having been a drunken sailor at times, that's quite a feat!
I've learned that saving my life has turned into an awesome new hobby..... and that I can multi task by rebuilding coils while watching NCIS marathons, cooking dinner and enjoying a frosty adult beverage.
I have mastered the art of magic... And for my new trick i will make myself dissapear in a cloud... Poof and im gone

This was also my first ecig, ahhh the memories.
It is amazing how much this game has changed over the last two years, and I feel privileged to have been a part of the plastic carto polyfill generation of vapers.
Hmmm... "skills" I've learned:
* How to catch a mod in mid air that's fallen from your pocket.
* How to tell when a battery is about to lose it's "still good for vaping" charge without a meter.
* How to remove ejuice stains from a shirt... and the couch... and the cat.
* How to walk away from a non-vaper who's got a head full of junk science propaganda and wants to argue with you.
* How to talk myself into 'dare' juices like coconut bacon (true story).
